- Step 3Make filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and 3/4 cup sugar until light and fluff. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well between each addition. Mix in vanilla and salt. Pour over the crust.
- Step 4In a small bowl, toss together apples, 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Step 5Make streusel topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, sugar, flour and oats, then cut in butter with a fork or pastry cutter.
- Step 6Scatter apples on top of the cheesecake mixture, then top with oat mixture.
- Step 7Bake until the cheesecake is only slightly jiggly in the center, about 55 minutes. Let cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Step 8Before serving, drizzle with caramel sauce and slice into squares.
